East Windsor Takes On Temporary Housing Rehabilitation Program

East Windsor Township was and the funds will be used to sponsor a Township Housing Rehabilitation program.

Through the State grant, East Windsor Township has undertaken a township-wide housing rehabilitation program to assist low and moderate income single family homeowners to make needed home repairs and improvements. The program provides up to $15,000 in funding for qualified approved homeowners, to correct existing interior and exterior health, safety, and code violations in their home.

Eligible improvements include replacement or substantial repair of roofs, foundations, heating and electrical systems, plumbing system components, lead based paint remediation, and/or structural repairs. Weatherization improvements such as windows and insulation also are eligible.

Funds are provided as a no interest deferred loan, with no monthly payments and no interest. The amount is not due or payable until sale or transfer of title and only for the exact amount. There is no cost to apply.

“This $200,000 grant will enable the Township to assist Township homeowners, including senior citizens who otherwise could not afford it, to repair substandard systems and fix conditions in disrepair such as windows, roofs and toilets," Mironov said. "The housing rehabilitation program at the same time serves a worthwhile community interest of helping maintain our Township housing stock.  We are appreciative to the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs for supporting this community program, and I encourage eligible homeowners to take advantage of this valuable opportunity to make needed home repairs.”

Interested parties are encouraged to contact the Township’s Agent at Community Grants Planning & Housing at 609-371-1968 or email maryalice@cgph.net for more information or an application package.
